Radeon 9700 pro overclock

[gameboyzz]

Hey guys..

I currently have my 9700 pro overclocked at 371/344.. I cant seem to go further than this with the stock heatsink/fan. I want to overclock further but i need a better cooling solution. Can anyone tell me what the best cooling solution for this card is? Besides water/liquid cooling.


Thanks a ton..

the best cooling for a video card is the Zalman ZM80C-HP link

I haven't tried it myself, but I have heard good things about Arctic Cooling VGA Silencer. I might go for this one day to shut my R9700pro up.

Your 9700PRO is at 371, and you want more. I do not think that a better cooler will give you much if any more. What you might want to look into is some good copper ram sinks, and try for 360 on the MEM. That would be sweet.

And yes, I would kill if it allowed my 9700PRO to get any where near 371 GPU. I would lower my mem to 344 if that would work (mine can do 347core/362mem) stock HSF/copper sinks.
